Seward, Alaska
Around noon today, high schooler Jonah Lindquist spotted a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO in the brush between the highway and the bike park, identified it, and even managed to get a video before it flew off! Wow!
I and two other birders wandered around looking for it without success about 45 minutes later; lots of brush and habitat for this rare needle in a haystack!
Todd Eskelin noted that this is the first documented Yellow-billed Cuckoo for Seward and the Kenai Peninsula. Congratulations, Jonah! Great sighting!
John Maniscalco reported a GOLDEN EAGLE flying across the highway at 11 am about a block farther north, heading towards the airport.
Todd also reported a probable ANNA’S HUMMINGBIRD spotted yesterday north of Seward on Stoney Creek Road, feeding on flowers.
Happy Birding!
